Half-Asleep
half-asleep
Though half asleep,
my mind discrete,
Does observe a stranger,
a face close by,
as i do sleep,
beside me,
cheek by cheek,
face by face,
no danger.
Who is this lady sweet devine,
Someone from another time,
To be there in my dreaming time?
A princess of soothsayers.
We come and go,
I almost know,
The veil parts,
an there you flow,
A Subtle sweet ironic show,
angelic thought,
her face a-glow,
I’m surely yet to know,
coming is a friend of long ago,
to fill the void,
of I won’t show,
my subtle thought arranger…
